Duncan> I'm still having trouble with UTF contents in <mtext> tags in Duncan> MathML content.
For whatever it is worth, I just tried that. A double-acute u (U+0171) came through w/o problem. I'm using a gentoo box w/ tetex 3.0.
Thanks very much for trying it out.
I tried both dvi and pdf output. Both worked.
Are you sure your file is in utf-8 and not, eg, utf-16?
I was, but I'm no longer sure of anything. :-) Is there a foolproof way of finding out? It seems that lots of editors try to 'help' by doing automatic guessing and automatic translations into other encodings, making it very difficult to tie things down. (And web browsers do that same when submitting things over the web, so I can't do what I usually do and test on Live.) I tend to use emacs, which I thought was a pretty safe bet, but maybe I should try something else?
What platform are you on?
I'm testing on both Windows and (Redhat) linux, both with the current minimal ConTeXt installations (i.e. mswintex.zip and linuxtex.zip). They exhibit the same behaviour. Thanks for any advice you can give. Duncan
